FAQs
What material is the Clarks Originals Wallabee made from?
The Wallabee features a premium tumbled leather upper with gingham insoles and a natural pebble crepe sole.
How do I clean the natural pebble crepe sole?
Gently clean the crepe sole with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Is the Wallabee suitable for wide feet?
The Wallabee generally offers a standard fit. While the leather can stretch slightly, individuals with particularly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on is recommended.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated with waterproofing spray, the natural crepe sole is not ideal for very wet conditions and may absorb moisture or mark surfaces. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What is the typical lifespan of a Wallabee?
With proper care and regular maintenance, the Clarks Originals Wallabee can last for several years, with the leather becoming more comfortable and characterful over time.
Are there different lacing options for the Wallabee?
The standard Wallabee comes with ribbon lacing. While decorative, laces can be replaced with standard shoe laces if a different aesthetic or function is desired, though this may alter the classic look.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a good quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and suppleness. Ensure the product is suitable for tumbled leather.
Crepe sole marking surfaces
This is natural for crepe rubber. Clean soles after wear if marks are a concern. Avoid wearing on newly polished floors.
Laces are difficult to tighten or loosen
Ensure the ribbon laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. If they become stiff, replace them with new ribbon laces.
Water spots on leather
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a leather conditioner to blend the area. Prevention with waterproofing spray is recommended.
